Pamela is a lovely host. Very welcoming and really helpful. She gave us advice on activities and sights not just for Wellington, but for other places we would be visiting on our trip as well. This is a beautiful, comfortable place and very conveniently located. I highly recommend it!

Mallory2016-09-29T00:00:00Z

The hosts were superb. The property is beautiful, we had breakfast in the garden. The bed was a superior bed and luxury bathroom true to the original description. We would definitely book again. The area of Karori is very pretty and close to the city. Diane and Bruce from Eltham.

Dianne2017-03-31T00:00:00Z

We don't usually stay in airbnb rooms, preferring our own space, but Pamela and Milton offer just the right mix of making you welcome and leaving you be. They are lovely, kind, warm people. The space is just as pictured, perhaps even nicer. Very luxurious, homely and spacious. There is a large bedroom, ensuite, and a living space which is shared but largely left to the guests while staying, as the hosts' living spaces are at the front of the house. There is a back entrance and key which means guests and come and go without going through the house. Breakfast was lovely (great muesli!) and left in the kitchen for guests to help themselves. Milton and Pamela were really helpful when we needed a bit of extra help due to unexpected family matters, and we really appreciated this and other kind acts. The bus really is just a few steps away and very frequent, allowing easy access to town into the evening and on Sundays.

Sue2015-07-07T00:00:00Z

Fantastic really comfortable. Hosts were so friendly and couldn't do enough for us

Diane2017-02-13T00:00:00Z

Pamela and Milton are extraordinary host's in every respect. We can only recommend their B & B!

Franziska2017-01-06T00:00:00Z

Great place to stay! Spacious accommodations, as you have your bedroom and access to a living area and a patio. Pamela has all you need ready for a good breakfast in the mornings and is helpful about how to use the bus to get into the city. It is very easy and hassle free. Our hosts were very friendly, personable and considerate. I highly recommend their place for a great experience in Wellington!

barbjcloutier2017-02-24T00:00:00Z

Pamela's clear directions were perfect. I knew exactly which bus to catch to where. Karori is a little outside of the hubbub of Wellington, which was perfect for me. She was quick to respond to my queries. The accommodation was really really stunning. Pristinely presented, with views into the garden. I loved the bathroom - the skylight with views to the end of the sky! The linen was crisp and clean, with a choice of pillows to suit all needs. The bed was super comfy. Breakfast was delicious- yoghurt, fresh fruit, bread for toast, spreads galore. Instructions how to operate the hob cleverly written adjacent to it. Pamela and Milton are delightful hosts. Pamela is a mine of information, and proffered great recommendations for places to visit. As for Porter, the cat .... Great to have him welcome me so. Would that I could've had more time to explore! I highly recommend staying here. Thank you Pamela.

Jo2015-09-14T00:00:00Z

Stay at Pamela's in Wellington was so great that we rate it as the best we had during our 2 weeks NZ visit.

We are not far from Zealandia and the Botanical gardens. Both places have great cafes that we go to quite often.

Very good

Beautiful exteriors, but what you see is not what you get.

Pradeep 2016-10-14T00:00:00Z

Judit made us feel very welcome and the place was very nicely done up. He even turned on the heaters while we were out so that we would come back to a warm room :) thank you!

Peiling2016-10-23T00:00:00Z

Nice room with 4 beds, TV and a toilet..the bathroom is linked to the main house which is just outside the room. Nice breakfast provided!

Yu Ting2016-11-04T00:00:00Z

Wonderful place and great hosts.

Anya2017-03-01T00:00:00Z

We stayed at the "Beautiful Colonial house for 3 days. We saw very little of Judit but she seems to be a very kind person. Julian greeted us with a huge bowl of cherries and showed us around our room. The room is a self contained addition to the main house. It is quite large and contains a toilet and sink, microwave and flat screen tv. the bed is large and very comfortable. Every morning they had a good breakfast laid out for us in the main house kitchen. The house is situated high above the city and access to it is best by bus $10.00 from down town. Sometimes Julian gave us a lift if he was heading to town. The botanical garden is beautiful and is just around the corner (and down hill) . We would stay again.

Grace2015-01-14T00:00:00Z

Lovely place and great accommodation with a lovely location. Very clean and private! We would have appreciated a little more interaction.

Louise2017-02-13T00:00:00Z

Julian and Judit were incredible hosts. While the shower is in the main house, we got to sleep in a separate guest house with its own bathroom. The place was very clean and pleasant. Julian also allowed us access to their main house through most hours of the day and evening. He also went out of his way to make us feel welcome to hang out there. A great breakfast was waiting for us each morning, and couldn't have been more comfortable as guests. Julian is a fascinating person who is involved in a lot of things, both professionally and personally. My father and I loved talking with him, and we appreciated how he voluntarily took extra time out of his work day to sit down and hang out with us. He also gave us some stellar restaurant recommendations. We would love to stay with here again, the next time we find ourselves in Wellington.

The spacious bedroom is privately located downstairs away from the other bedrooms with its own en suite and laundry.

Our home is located at the city-end of Karori, meaning that it is quite close to Wellington City - easy to get in and out. It is a quiet, safe and well-established residential area, with mostly families living here. We are within 7 minutes walk from a small mall, which boasts two supermarkets, banks, eateries, dry cleaners, hairdresser and a pharmacy.

Andre and Elsa are wonderful hosts. Very welcoming. Andre went the extra mile and drove me into the city when it was raining. Spacious comfortable room. A 3 minute walk to local village and bus stop. Recommended.

Maree2017-04-05T00:00:00Z

I highly recommend staying here. My flight was cancelled and then delayed by 5 hours so I was really exhausted when I arrived. Andre was so kind, he offered to pick me up from the city. He also let me have a late check-out because I took a night bus. I'm really impressed and also grateful! Now, the room: it's exactly as advertised, very clean and feels like home but it also reminds me of a 5-star hotel. Breakfast is provided, lots of drinks and cereals to choose from. The only thing is that it's about 20 minutes from the city by bus (without traffic), so keep that in mind and plan your time accordingly. The nearby village has shops and an ATM which is great. Thanks again!

Lynn2017-05-06T00:00:00Z

Lovely room with friendly hosts. Very welcoming and helpful hosts.

Justin2017-04-07T00:00:00Z

Excellent location in a quiet residential area. Andre and Ilse are both very nice host and the moment we stepped through the front door we felt instantly at home. They are very friendly and willing to share lounge, kitchen with all utensil, dining room, etc. in short entire house. We enjoyed some good and informative chat with them, watching T.V. together and off course homemade cookies, it was yummy. Enjoyed having dinner together…. The house was clean, organised and in great condition. Stunning bedroom beautifully decorated with comfortable bed, heater, dressing table, modern ensuite with laundry. Basically, everything we might need. This is definitely our best choice in wellington. Highly recommend this place. Best value for money…….

Comfortably accommodates up to 2 people. Also suitable for groups of 3 - 4 people with not too much luggage who are happy to compromise on space for reasonably priced accommodation with comfy beds, great shower, real coffee, and a variety of coffees, teas, breakfast cereals and milk.
The room is permanently set up with 1 queen size and 1 single size bed. Another single bed OR port-a-cot can be set up upon request to accommodate 4 guests. Please let me know when making your booking if you need a further single bed OR port-a-cot set up.
Note, when a further single bed or port-a-cot is set up, the armchairs need to be moved.

As well as having an impressive array of services and amenities, Karori is a haven for second-hand shoppers with no less than four to choose from. There are a variety of cafe and takeaway options, also two bars with restaurant facilities, they are The Pickle Jar and One Fat Bird (both offer child-friendly dining).
There are many walking and mountain biking tracks for the adventurous, and our local park is kitted out with an exercise circuit, running track, and cafe.
Heading from Karori into the central city, business district and waterfront area you will pass the Botanic Gardens, Cable Car and Museum, Carter Observatory, Victoria University, Parliament Buildings and the Beehive. Within close proximity to the Beehive are the Westpac Stadium, Railway Station, and Ferry services.
Closer to home, a five-minute drive will take you to local favourite attractions Zealandia Bird Sanctuary, Otari Bush, and the World War 2 Wrights Hill Tunnels (open to the public on public holidays).
A small drive further through the South of Karori will take you on a scenic drive to rugged Makara Beach with Fishing, Tramping, and Horse Riding opportunities. The Makara West Wind Recreation Area has three walkways that provide visitors access to spectacular views of the coastline, wind farm, World War 2 gun emplacements and Fort Opau.

Sharon is nice.The house's location is near the city centre by bus and it's really clean.we all like it.

Lovely private apartment in a great location

Phil2017-05-06T00:00:00Z

Super close to Wellington central which was perfect for our needs, very clean and tidy with everything that you needed and more with extra touches that really make a difference

Leah Jane2017-04-12T00:00:00Z

Sharon and Stuart are all-round super hosts. They are well-travelled so have thought of all the things that make travelling easier, and the room is well-equipped and super comfortable. Sharon has been incredibly accommodating with any requests we have had, including doing laundry when we need to, and buying a hanging rail so we had somewhere to hang work clothes. Karori is a nice, green area - lots of great bush trails nearby with some spectacular views over Wellington, and a great bus service meaning it is quick and easy to get into the city (about 20 minutes).

Lisa2016-10-23T00:00:00Z

Sharon's place is very clean and well equipped. It's in a very good location for access to local transport and close to 2 restaurants and shops. Lots to do and see in Wellington. We would have no hesitation in returning.

Neil2017-02-24T00:00:00Z

10 out of 10, would absolutely stay again. Would come back to Wellington again just knowing that Sharon's place exists. We arrived after driving the whole of north island in our camper and Sharon took us in last minute, made check in easy as pie and her wonderful space had absolutely everything we could have dreamed of. I've honestly never been so comfortable and spoiled in any other Air BNB, or even at a hotel. Spotlessly clean, everything felt new and high quality. Bathroom is bright and spacious, great hot shower, heated towel rack, delicious coffee and fresh milk, cereal, sweets. Fridge, cutlery, dishes - we really couldn't have asked for more and can't overstate how accommodating and wonderful Sharon was.

Melissa2017-05-01T00:00:00Z

Had an awesome experience. Sharon is a very hospitable and friendly host. Very clean and tidy accommodation with facilities. Ideal for a couple or family of three. Definitely recommended

Siya2017-03-18T00:00:00Z

Sharon is without a doubt the sweetest host I have met so far... From extremely fast communication, picking up at the airport, dropping us of at the ferry and everything in between! Nothing was too much and Sharon has been so helpfull to make sure me and my mother had a comfortable stay... The room is private, very safe and very clean. Everything has been taken care of! Super recommend Sharon's place! Thank you for having us!

We stayed with Jen and Gary for a week whilst we were searching for a flat. They made us feel extremely welcome and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. The room is perfect for a couple with a very comfortable bed. Recommend to anyone visiting Wellington!

Hazel2017-01-14T00:00:00Z

The cozy accommodation is very nice and clean. It was very easy to get there from down town (we were getting around by car). Jennifer and her family are great hosts. They had good adivces where to eat and it was very nice to chat with them. We enjoyed our stay and would defenitly book it again.

Tobias2017-02-04T00:00:00Z

This is a nice location for someone who wants to experience a bit of kiwi accommodation. Jen was very attentive and caring

Burt2017-04-08T00:00:00Z

The place is independent and has an entry of its own which was great. Car parking is difficult in Wellington which was available and so an added plus. Jennifer was helpful and checked on our being comfortable right through the stay.

Gagan2017-04-19T00:00:00Z

We were very comfortable here - good value and Jen was a great host.

Amanda2017-04-11T00:00:00Z

Jordan2017-05-09T00:00:00Z

Absolutely lovely place to stay and family. Exceeded our expectations on every level. If you stay in Welli gton and want a peaceful secluded spot to rest and relax, this is the place. Jen the host and her family were very pleasent to deal with and gave us great local info with fantastic clear communication fromantic the first point of booking till when we left. A+ 5 star Tip Top :)

Ben2017-02-28T00:00:00Z

Great stay, Jennifer was a fabulous and caring host. She is super friendly and more than happy to help in any way by the looks of it! Having soy milk in the fridge was a nice touch, especially for those who can't drink dairy! There is a cute folder left for guests to read - a nice guide for the area and the stay. Thanks Jennifer from Kim & Matt.

Very good communication with Donna to go to the apartment and get the keys. The apartment itself was spotless and well equipped.

Frederic2017-01-01T00:00:00Z

Donna's apartment is absolutely great and donna is an amazing host. The neighborhood is quiet and welcoming, especially for us as we had a car. The breakfast items Donna provided allowed us to save time and hassle having to dine out and was really fun. We had an amazing visit to Wellington and we can highly recommend her place to anyone visiting the city! thank you donna for letting us into your home.

Donna's place was great for our 2 night stay in Wellington. The location is very quiet at a 15 min bus ride from downtown. The apartment is very comfortable and had everything we needed. She provided breakfast basics and she was very helpful with any enquiries we had. Would definitely recommend to the community!

Damián2016-11-24T00:00:00Z

Very clean and scenic house. Best view of Wellington you can ever get. Michele and Richard are extremely friendly and helpful, would come back again if we can. "T" the dog is adorable!

Cynthia2017-05-25T00:00:00Z

This was our second stay at Michelle&Richard, and we decided to stay again as our first was great. We weren't disappointed this second time, we enjoyed every moment, the cosy room, the beautiful view, the lovely people. Thanks!

Martina2017-05-12T00:00:00Z

Richard and Michele were so welcoming - picked us up from the airport, fed us and gave us helpful advice about Wellington. We were exhausted after the flight and they were really good about that. The room itself is spacious, good to hang out it in if you're not feeling social and the view is incredible. Generally a very good start to New Zealand!

Rachel2016-10-09T00:00:00Z

We had an amazing stay at michele's place. We did not met michele but richard, her husband. He was incredibly welcoming and it felt like visiting a friend we already knew for a long time! We really enjoyed spending time with with him! And the view is simply stunning! One of the best airbnb's we have ever been. This is THE PLACE TO BE when visiting wellington. Thanks again richard for everything! We will miss you :)

Naomi2017-02-18T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Michele's was perfect, we loved the room, the location and the view. Michele, Richard (and the little dog T-Rex) are welcoming and friendly, and made us feel at home. Thanks, we will come back!

Martina2017-03-23T00:00:00Z

Thank you for a lovely stay. This home we can recommend highly. Spacious & warm with friendly, trusting hosts who gave us full use of their house. We absolutely loved it here with everything you could possibly need whilst on holiday. Great views, lots of light & sunshine streaming in the windows with 4 mins drive to city. Wonderfully comfortable bed. We are fussy & all expectations were met and exceeded.

Peter2017-03-07T00:00:00Z

Michele and Richard are lovely, accommodating and down-to-earth. You can be roommate, part of the family or do your own thing. Whatever works for you is fine with them. Nothing feels awkward or complicated. It just feels like home. Even T Rex, the hosts' adorable dog, does his best to make you feel at home.

Linda2016-09-20T00:00:00Z

This has to be the best Airbnb property we have stayed in, and we have stayed in a few. The house and accommodation is first class. The views are magnificent. Most of all the hosts (Michele and Richard) are perfect. They are very sociable, but also understand that people need some privacy. There are some lovely local walks, and if you are feeling fit its a short 30min walk to the cable car and then 2 minutes into the heart of the city. Oh and not forgetting "T-Rex" the dog, he's so friendly. This place is highly recommended for couples.

Studio has separate private access, is located below our 100 year old villa and opens on to a sunny garden.

My place is close to Zealandia Wildlife Sanctuary, so you'll hear the birds! You’ll love the sunny aspect and relaxing treetop views. It's hard to believe the city centre is 2.5 kms away- 35-40min walk, 10 min bus, or walk 20 mins to cable car (near Victoria University) into the heart of city. Take a short walk to cafes, restaurants, and takeaways that the locals enjoy. Park your car worry-free on the street. My place is ideal for couples, groups of 2-3, solo adventurers, and business travelers.

This is a cleverly designed townhouse. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, a study/spare bedroom, two bathrooms, and a separate toilet. Downstairs are the open plan living areas, toilet, and internal access garage.

A quiet no exit street so it's easy to find a park. We are uphill from the city centre and ferry terminals.
Want food?- 5 mins by car to supermarkets, 10-15 mins walk to takeaways (pizza, Chinese, fish and chips, burgers) & One Fat Bird Restaurant/bar/cafe open til 11pm Friday night live music and Monday night 2 for 1 mains after 5pm plus heaps more fun.
Or head into town to Cuba Street or the waterfront or ... for many many more options.

Beautiful appartement with a great view! The room was very comfortable. Linda was welcoming and very helpful. Perfect stay in Wellington!

Excellent informative host. Linda was great to chat with. Nice clean comfy home with great views, Short steep walk to shops,cafes and bus. Would recimmend to anyone.

Linda was an excellent host with a beautiful hill top home. The pictures don't really do justice to the attention to detail paid to the beautiful finish of rooms. A lovely breakfast spread is provided and Linda takes time to make you feel at home! If the weather is good, do walk down into the city - it is well sign posted the whole way. Plenty of on street parking outside the property. Would definitely stay again.

Linda was a great host. The house was imaculate and beautifully presented. Great location great value for money.

Danny2017-04-16T00:00:00Z

Linda was a wonderful host to my mother and aunty. They were very comfortable and enjoyed their stay.

Kelsey2017-05-07T00:00:00Z

The house is lovely Linda. We had a very warm welcome and we were able to discuss at length with Linda is a lovely hostess. His house is near the Botanical Gardens of Wellington and therefore the funicular (cable car). An address to recommend. Again THANK Linda.

FLORENCE2017-04-01T00:00:00Z

Our stay with Linda was splendid. The house and area is wonderful and so is she! We are looking forward to return to Wellington to stay with her.

Vince2017-02-11T00:00:00Z

Nothing bad to say about our stay with Linda. Great view from the room, great bed, great breakfast. Linda is very welcoming and made us feel right at home and was happy to chat about Wellington, but left us alone when needed. Would stay here again if in Wellington.

A very private location surrounded by mostly native bush. With bellbird, kakariki, kaka, tui and kereru regularly visiting or nesting nearby. Great sunshine and views over Karori, part of the harbor and Orongorongo ranges. Easy drive to CBD or buses

The bedroom is compact but comfortable with a double bed, however there is heaps of space throughout the house that you can use. Built in wardrobe in the room. Next to bathroom, with separate toilet.
There is king single bed in the adjacent room if you have another person staying.

A really beautiful house! Very clean and quiet. Ken likes art and also has very good tips on how best to move in the city. The house is quiet, has a beautiful garden and a great view over the city, as a slightly higher altitude. And here, a note: His house is set back from the road, and the feeder path is extremely steep! But doable. Those arriving from the guests first, may use the garage. In addition, guests are allowed in the kitchen to use the tea and Ken's inventories for the same use (tea / coffee). Very quiet neighborhood, located just outside, way to the city about 10-15 minutes by car.

Karsten2017-02-07T00:00:00Z

Everything from the beginning to end went perfectly with Ken and his beautiful home. If you stay you will enjoy: -Good, clear communication (incl. easy to follow instructions for arrival and travel around the area). -A warm welcome. Ken is very friendly and a good conversationalist, if you would like. -A comfortable home with clean and well equipped bathroom and kitchen, and a super comfy bed! -Help, advice and planning. Ken also took us and some other guests for a walk in Zealandia which was brilliant, and you may be lucky enough to experience this too! Highly recommended!

Phil2017-02-24T00:00:00Z

We had such a great weekend in Wellington. The location of the house was perfect as we wanted to be near Makara Peak. It felt very spacious and peaceful. Ken was a wonderful host and we felt extremely welcome and comfortable. Zealandia was a very interesting surprise to us but a highlight of the weekend. As we are newly settling in NZ we enjoyed Ken's company and the chance to ask lots of questions about life here. Thank you!

Alec2016-10-02T00:00:00Z

Ken is a very nice person, and his house is very well decorated, he gave us a lot of advise so that we were able to optimise our stay. We definitly recommend Ken's house !

Muriel2017-03-09T00:00:00Z

A nice scenic home on the hill with some great views. Ken was a very accommodating host and has plenty of useful tips when around Wellington. Located only a short distance from walking/MTB trails it was ideal. Highly recommended, thanks Ken!

Elliot2017-02-22T00:00:00Z

Ken was perfect from beginning to end, he welcomed us beautifully, easy life, indicate good things to see and even served as a guide in the hills surrounding the beautiful home !! I absolutely recommend!

Vincent2016-12-08T00:00:00Z

Both Ken and the rooms were really nice. The view was awesome too! The walk was definitely a challenge for me though

Natasya2017-04-19T00:00:00Z

Staying with Ken was one of our best Airbnb experiences so far. He has a beautiful home and our room and the bathroom were exactly as shown and described and very clean and comfortable. Ken gave us clear instructions as how to find his house in the upper Wellington. Having only one full day to enjoy Wellington we really appreciated the good advice and ideas given by Ken and we also enjoyed some good talks. Highly recommended as a place to stay.

Cozy single bedroom in modern 4 bedroom house close to Wellington city centre in the cute little suburb of Karori. Great for solo travelers who are on a budget but don't want to compromise on cleanliness or comfort. Come stay with two Kiwis and a Canadian, and live like a local.

Clean and modern 4 bedroom house in South Karori, amongst the hills and greenery. With three residents, we have one small room available with a single bed for solo travelers on a budget.

Our neighbourhood is a beautiful hilly and forested area with a mountain biking trail just up the road. Karori has grocery stores, a swimming pool, take-aways, and lots of other little shops.

Steph has a fantastic peaceful place and really goes out of her way to make you feel welcome. Was great to get her tips on local things to see and do.

Aaron2017-05-07T00:00:00Z

Stephanie is a very communicative, welcoming and helpful host. She picked us up from the city to show us how to get around by foot, bus and cable car. She also made sure we were comfortable at all times and free to use their lounge and kitchen at any time. Will definitely keep it in mind for a future visit, also since it's so well located for Zealandia, the cable car and the botanical gardens. Even for our 9month old boy it was an easy adjustment to sleeping in a different place.

Charon2017-04-03T00:00:00Z

Stephanie was a wonderful host for my wife, daughter and I. She was very gracious and even helped us plan our holiday on the South Island. Her home was inviting, the beds comfortable and she provided a much appreciated continental breakfast.

Larry2017-03-08T00:00:00Z

It is a very nice place. And there are three beautiful and friendly girls in the house.
